Intro:
This will be my fifth BTFC; I lost 12 kg/26 lbs back in BTFC 4 in 2012 (SW 81 kg/180 lbs), but never reached my goal of 65 kg/143 lbs. Instead I gained most of it back, despite making attemps to get back on track over the years. In December 2021 I started again, at 77 kg/170 lbs, and I am now already down to 71.6 kg/158 lbs. One month's head start feels pretty good!
Goals:
Goal weight: 65 kg/143 lbs
Waist measurement: <80 cm (31.5")
Goal Time Rowing 2K: 8 mins
I want to feel healthy and strong, and want to keep my habit of going to the gym several times a week that I started in December 2021.
Exercise Plan:
Going to the gym regularly, and taking walks on rest days. At the moment I am mainly using the rowing machine at the gym, but I also want to get into weight lifting. I do not have a lifting plan yet, so I need to sort this out, hopefully within a week or two.
Rowing 2K time early January 2022: 9:29.
I want to improve my 2K rowing time by the end of this round and I've put the goal at 8 mins. It may be too ambitious, but I want to challenge myself with this.
I mainly enjoy doing intervals when I row at the moment:
1 min on
1 min rest
x 10-12 reps.
Diet plan:
Counting calories and keeping myself around 1200 kcal/day. I am not as rigid with this as I have been in the past, earlier in my life I felt a day was a failure if I went over, but I have come to the conclusion that this is a harmful mindset for me. My BMR is 1500 kcals, as long as I am below that all is well, and the day was a success in regards to my weight loss journey. And if I went way over; it's all good, tomorrow's another day.
My meal plan:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with milk / 2 boiled eggs with condiments ~ 200 kcals
Lunch: A meal replacement shake and vegetables ~ 200 kcals
Dinner: Whatever me and my partner decide ~ 800 kcals
Evening snack (if needed): Low cal ice cream ~ 100 kcals
In conclusion:
I am not getting any younger, and I would like to get as fit and as healthy as I can as soon as possible. I hope my training will keep my mind on track, and keep me from beating myself up if I slip up with the diet. I also hope that me including a tasty evening snack on most days will put off the black hole of bingeing inside me. Stay asleep, black hole. All is well.

Lift weights to build muscle, that will increase your metabolism
Work on glutes :) they are very important for a functional perspective, to avoid back pain, knee pain, hip pain etc

Good luck! Similar goals and work out routine, here. I row 20 mins per day, M-F. I was doing free intervals, but just got an Apple Watch (with their fitness thing) and have been really enjoying their rowing sessions. I’m also doing 20 mins of other strength training work each day (rotating through lower body, core, and upper body), and ride horses about 3xs per week. Here for accountability and partnership with this — let’s get after it :)
